We already know from the first trailer that Thor will come to Loki for help in defeating a common enemy, and it seems that the two will work together -- but will there actually be any true brotherly love there? While speaking to Screenrant about it Chris Hemsworth is careful not to give too much away as it pertains to the plot of the movie, but it definitely sounds like it might not JUST be a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend; Thor may still have some "empathy" for his trickster brother after all.

“I can’t say too much, but I think in the comic books you kind of roll your eyes sometimes at the amount of times they’re back to being best friends. And so we wanted to keep in mind, Loki did just try to kill you for the seventh time – and Earth. It’s a big war, and what have you… Maybe there’s something we can maybe, [CHUCKLE] … We have a common need or something which, you know, that would, well… [laughs] You know the scene in Avengers when Thor says ‘careful how you speak. He be crazy but it’s my brother,’ kind of sums it up. Yeah, he’s a screw up but he is my brother. I don’t think they’re back to being best friends, but Thor’s at a loss about how they got to this point, ’cause for him, I think [treachery] stuff came out of nowhere and I think that in this film [Thor] certainly can acknowledge now with a maturity that he should have been more aware of Loki over the years and where he was positioned and all of this, and why maybe that led him down a certain path. I think there’s maybe an empathetic view for Loki that no one else can have because they’re not bound by blood, you know.”

How they got there? You were a war hungry psychopath who wasn't learning a damn stupid thing until Loki said your Dad was dead and sent the Destroyer to kill you. Meanwhile he is all about watching your crazy frat boy ass while Dad is like You can never rule, you little prick because no matter how much Thor sucks, he's not a little smurf baby. There you go Thor, summed up how you got there. Course Loki, sorta took it a touch too far with the whole trying to kill you and helping Frost Giants invade but hey? Can't make an omelet without killing a few dads right?

@beto, oh ok lol I was going to say just sneak the food and drinks in too but it sounds like things are very different where you're from compared to where I go to the movies. me and a buddy of mine actually did it a couple of times spending12 hours or more in the theater just seeing everything possible its a lot of fun. we even brought in Wendys. god bless cargo shorts

@beto don't worry your not the only one.... I thought Thor was really good the first, then after about 5 or 10 minutes of him being on Earth it turn into a pretty meh movie. I hope this new Thor dark world is good, the hype for this movie isn't as big cause ppl are a little worried but it should make good on box office until Hunger Games comes out and dethrone it

Yeah imma big Marvel... and DC, yes folks ppl like that do exist. I honestly thought Thor went downhill its last half of the movie(except 4 the Loki and Thor relationship). But say I saw the SDCC footage of Thor 2, it looks pretty badazz but your right don't be fooled by trailers these days
